to secure the enforcement of the law pro
hibiting the sale of cigars, cigarettes OF

of age This law, it is claimed, is being
violated every day in this town by dealers.
At recent meeting committee was ap
pointed to inform dealers who are violating
the law that they will be prosecuted if the
violations do not cease. Some of the dealer:
make an endeavor to keep the law. 1t i.
often dlificult they say to tell whether many
boys are under or over the required age
and all who appear to be under fourteen ar,
asked their age. \ few of the dealers offer
refused to sell to small boys even before the
law was passed.
A Cherry Hill correspondent desires t,
make a slight correction in the report II
our issue of last week of Chldren's Day al
that place. 1t was stated that Miss Dolly
Miller sang u solo. Miss Milers musica
abilities are in the instrumental and not in
the vocal line, and she did not favor th
occasion with any vocal music. We ar,
asked to give due credit to solo by Mrs
Maggie Peacock entitled "Consider TIM
Lilies" Our correspondent states that the
soloist "sang it in her usual effective styl,
holding the audience spell bound" Their
were some very appropriate selections ren
dered by We young ladies, Misses Berti
Brown, Laura Grant, Lizzie Knight, Luc.
Kelly and Mollie Hanna. "rhese ladies'
says our correspondent, did such credit t.
the music that | cannot imagine how cob
server" could have forgotten them" Not
withstanding these omissions "Observer's
account of the exercises was the best ant
most complete published. We would b
pleased, however, to have our correspondent
who makes the corrections favor TIL
WHIG with accounts Of happenings on th
"Hill."
